Is it possible to compile libexif with Visual Studio 2010? I have been trying to do so and have been running into a whole slew of problems. I cannot find any information about whether anybody has successfully done this before. I know I can use MinGW to compile the library, but I am in a situation where I need it to be compiled with Visual Studio and then need to link to it from a Visual C++ app. Is this possible?
Read the “readme-win32.txt” file. Advice is:
Don’t get your hopes up. The *nix way of doing things is the configuration script that needs to be run first. It auto-generates source files to marry the library to the specific flavor of *nix. The configuration script is almost half a megabyte. Three times as much code as in the actual .c files 🙂 You cannot reasonably get that working without MinGW so you can execute the script. Once you got that done, you’ve got a better shot at it with a VS solution. As long as it doesn’t use too much C99 specific syntax.
